How can i trigger sessionExpired every 15 mins?

[Riya]

my bot is getting web session expired and i use 

community.on('sessionExpired', function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log('sessionExpired: '+err);
} 
if (client.steamID) {
client.webLogOn();
} else {
client.logOn(logon_details);
}
});

this code is triggered when the user of bot tried to make the bot start a trade offer.

what is a simple way for me to trigger session expired like every 15 mins if the session has expired?

Ans- A simple http request every 15 mins using node-cron to trigger it. (i am not a coder so if u could show it to me thanks!)

 

Right now the user of bot triggers it then has to wait 1-2 mins then the bot webLogon() and then  sends trade offer

we can use direct cronschedule that does webLogOn() every 15 min , and whenever that error fires I also do a webLogOn().  but idk what will happen if i try to webLogON() if the session hasnt been expired yet thats y i wanted to set up Alternative 1

There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this. I'd recommend that you do it this way, although maybe 15 minutes is too quick. Try 30 minutes and if you still have trouble, lower it to 15.

thanks i ll post if this works out for me!

require('console-stamp')(console, '[HH:MM:ss.l]');
var cron = require('node-cron');

 
cron.schedule('*/30 * * * *', () => {
  client.webLogOn()
  console.log('weblogged in after 30 mins using cron')
});
